NEW YORK. Jan. 6.
The only feature of the stock market this morn
ing the apparent disposition the part of tie
leading spectators to do nothing. The little bust
done was for the most part operations of room
traders and the smaller class of brokers. These
transactions caused only small transactions. The
total sales to were 1o6 600 shares. AS whole
the market was firm, although there very
unsatisfactory aspect to it in general. The OPEN
ing prices irregularly changed, but the
changes were only fractional, except for Memphis
and Charleston, which was 11x per cent. Fluctua-
lions confined within narrow range through
out the morning, but at 10 o'clock the majority of
the list showed fractional advances. The most
active stocks were Reading Union Pacific. Western
Union, Texas Pacific, Erie, Lackawanna, st. Paul,
Louisville and Nashville, and Jersey Central. The
stock market more active after midday and
prices steadily hardened The top figures were
generally current at the close and showed advances
in a majority of cases ranging from u to ~ per
cent. Memphis and Charleston, Tennessee Coal,
Reading, st. Paul and Omaha preferred, New York
and New England, and Lackawanna were the
strongest stocks. The days sales were 33e, 345
shares.

BUREAU OF VITAL STATISTICS.

The secretary of the bureau of vital stats
tics reports no startling facts in the mar
riages, births or deaths in the State. He
complains that in many of the towns the
registration is irregular and unreliable. If
statistics are worth anything, they are worth
the care which ensures substantial accuracy.
There would seem to be need of some further
legislation which would compel this care and
at the same time not cause great local incon-
venience.
The number of divorces is still disgrace
fully large, but NO statute can strike at the
root Of the evil. There should be one ma
tional law of marriage and divorce, and our
Senators and Representatives in Congress
should be instructed to work and vote for its
passage.
